Nothing beats a re-run of the malice in Alice.

Freo were very good!

We were very very pizz poor !!

Umpiring was even more pizz poor !!!

[MurDoc516 1,529]

Well I tell you who wasn't at fault today, the list management and coaching team! No sir, no way they could be of any blame.

[Stevienic23 1,183]

Lucky to be 50 points

[ElDiablo14 5,002]

Weren't we supposed to take every game like an elimination final? 

We had been doing since the NM game, and suddenly we can't be bothered to try?

5 more "finals" to come, but I doubt the hunger is really there.

[adonski 12,427]

Well coached for the most part

A massive Sparrow game

Lever commanding in defence

[Moonshadow 17,677]

[mrtwister 652]

Nearly got double figure hit-outs. 🤯

[DubDee 26,117]

The first half was an absolute embarrassment 

The coaches and players should hang their heads in shame

[Great Northern Summer 708]

Our older players can get stuffed. Sick of people defending Oliver too… wish I was paid $1m plus performing (or shall I say giving an effort) like that at work

Btw we lost 5% today, we lost like 8% in Alice.

13% lost against one single opponent, one of the reasons we are in this current situation.

[Pottsydee 153]

I have no words

[Newport34 380]

On a positive note, we still have a higher percentage than Hawthorn. Winning!

[BDA 22,875]

Totally unacceptable performance

The youngsters and May get a pass. The rest were awful.

 

[pitmaster 3,578]

Flattered by the scoreline. Terrible performance with finals berth in prospect.

[The Taciturn Demon 579]

What was that?

The first time in the NT was bewildering. This time it was just pathetic. 

Sorry, but Petracca and Gawn can't fix that garbage. 

 

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

And how did that work for us today, Simon?  Fullerton left out and we got destroyed in the ruck. Why draft the bloke if you aren’t going to play him? 

[Deeoldfart 8,061]

I don’t like it one little bit, but I can accept being out-played.  
However, what I find completely unacceptable, is being totally out-worked.   
I’m gutted!

Typo

[BoBo 2,941]

Absolute mauling.

[Oxdee 438]

What is it about the Freo game style that has us so rattled and scared? 

[DeeZee 7,445]

I’m sorry to those that rate him but Sparrow is just a nothing player

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,490]

We pretty much knew that Jacko and Biff were going to dominate in the air but our lack of intensity and spread from the contest was really disappointing. Leb and Knuckle were good I thought. The commentary team were gushing about Freo for much of the game but when it really matters they are as flakey as any side.
